Do you build models of cars that you owned...? PART 3

[Ramfins59]

Next in line is a 1971 Plymouth Satellite. My brother-in-law gave us this car in 1983 when the engine in the '67 Galaxie blew. I loved this car. I affectionately called it "Monster Mouth". It had a 318 engine that just wouldn't quit. Didn't burn a drop of oil and mechanically was a beauty. The rest of the car was deteriorating around the engine & tranny. The windows leaked, the front pan was falling off, the trunk took in water and the drivers seat back was held up by a milk crate wedged behind it. I sold it in the late 80's to some guys from Brooklyn, NY for $150. They were thrilled that the car ran so great and the A/C and the stereo worked.

Sorry for the chopped up pictures of the 1:1 car but I don't have a picture of the full car in one shot.

The model is an MPC kit that I filled in the hood scoop on and painted it green with a flat black roof to look like the vinyl roof. Some day I will do this one again as It is not as good as it could have been. My skills were "not great" at the time that I built this.
